Weekend bump

This Pentax 50-200 WR is in fantastic condition. It still has the original caps front and back, hood, box and all documentation. The only mark I can find is a very small amount of the logo on the front of the lens cap has rubbed off. I bought it with my camera 2 years ago.

I've loved its light weight and have been really pleased with the images it's helped me capture. I am only selling it because I bought a 55-300.

I'm asking £99 including RMSD.

You can see some pictures taken with the lens here. Some of them have been cropped so you can see how well the quality holds up.

You should but then I am biased...

A great deal to be had here! I was expecting to sell this for more, but there are some sales on so I've lowered the price accordingly...

£300 including RMSD. That includes the UV filter.

SRS are still asking £479, which seems to be more 'the norm'.

It's in fantastic condition. Bought from SRS by a forum member in March 2012, I paid £400 a year ago. Oh well! It's had the UV filter on it since. The only signs of use are some small marks on the lens cap and hood.

Supplied complete with box, pouch and all documentation.

I love the lens; the fact that I can go from a portrait at 50mm/f2.8 to a sunset at 17mm/f9 and all sorts in-between has been fabulous. But, if I'm completely honest, I find the lens heavier than I'd like for walking around with all day. Please bear in mind that I don't use any kind of wrist or neck strap with my camera so I have to keep it in my hand all the time. And I'm a wimp! And it's no heavier than the equivalent from Pentax or Tamron.

Photozone rated this lens very highly (albeit the test was done on a Canon body) link.

Here is a link to a few shots taken with the actual lens.

Many thanks John. Lens packed really well, very quick delivery. One happy camper!

Sold!

Sold pending payment...

This fantastic bag is still available!

£75 tempt anyone?

For sale a Think Tank Retrospective 10 bag in the Pinestone finish.

12 months old, with optional hand strap and waterproof cover.

If you would like any more information please feel free to ask, or you can click here to visit the correct page on the Think Tank website which will give you all the sizes, weight and an idea of how the interior can be configured.

I was able to comfortably carry my K-5 with a Sigma 10-20 and the two kit lenses (18-55 & 50-200) plus various other paraphernalia such as wallet, pen, phone, maps, a bottle of water and filters. It will hold a lot more and the padded shoulder strap makes it more comfortable to do so.

I like the fact that the washed look and styling doesn't make it conspicuous and scream 'steal me, I'm full of expensive equipment'! And the soft shape allows it to conform to your body.

As you can see from the images it is like new.

£80, including delivery by Royal Mail Special Delivery in the UK, and it's all yours! Payment by bank transfer please.

Forgot to say that I have a picture of the DA15 next to the Sigma 10-20 here.

I wonder if the original poster might chip in with some feedback as to whether the advice has been useful? It also occurred to me we don't know how wide his current widest lens is and that the lenses being discussed might be too wide?

Good article on the US website by the way, thank you!
